Theatreland

The world's largest independent theatre guide

Client Since

2006

Their pursuit of continuous incremental performance improvement of our existing online activities has prevented the lurching pain of major site relaunches and has always kept us ahead of the market. This has meant that we've been able to concentrate on adding value for our customers rather than just keeping up with our competitive set.

Who They Are

Theatreland began in 2004 as a side project: guides for a handful of Broadway theatres, with a few of Nevado's founders helping out of hours before Nevado existed. When we set up Nevado it became one of our first clients. Twenty years on, it is one of our largest.

Today Theatreland is the world's largest collection of independent city theatre guides, covering 240+ cities across the US, UK, Canada and Australia and used by 23 million people a year. The whole network runs on a single platform we built and still run, feeding every city site and an app from one canonical record of what's on, where, and who's in it, alongside the SEO, content, email and paid search that bring theatregoers to the door. The platform does a lot of the heavy lifting, allowing the whole network to be run by a team you could fit around one table. These days, the only thing that reliably tests it is a massive Broadway onsale.

What We've Done

  1. Theatreland's design, development, infrastructure, product, marketing and strategy function, with our people embedded in the business for the long run.

  2. Scaled it from a handful of Broadway theatres to four countries on a single platform: one CMS, a proprietary data and automation engine handling workflow, localisation, segmentation and sales opportunities, primary and secondary ticketing partners in four countries, CRM, analytics and a paid search system of our own.

  3. Designed and developed the Theatreland app for iOS and Android (rated 4.8 stars), and now leading its next act: network-wide accounts, wishlists, and a canonical record of live theatre for people (and AI agents!) to rely on.

Theatreland Awards

While the real measure of how good the work we do is clearly how well the businesses perform in terms of their relevant KPIs, it never hurts to have someone uninvolved tell you that your sites are awesome!
